Hi friends!
So I have 8 chicks, two were labeled “assorted Polish crested”. The one absolutely looks like a Polish, but I’m unsure on this black one. Someone said he might be a crevecoeur, but I’m not sure how to tell the difference? He’s about 5 weeks old in this photo and he just started...
My polish almost died last week after I found she was retaining an egg. She was able to pass the egg (it was her normal sized egg) ~36hrs and it wasn’t broken but she’s had this butt ever since. Help! Her poop hasn’t gotten better or worse since then and it’s been 1.5wks. Her personality has...
Hello,
I got a few chicks from our local farm store which is supplied by Hoovers. This is my first polish, but, I have raised over 100 chicks, so I am not new to chick raising. This baby was pretty small in the cage. She appears malnourished. She is not drinking/eating on her own, however...
I just wanted to show off some of my birds and the current eggs that I'm incubating. This breed is called Tolbunt Polish and I absolutely love them so far!
This is Chironamoe (Ch-ron-e-moe), he's a gentleman and is less than one year old. He's very clever, kind and docile, but I don't know what 'breed' his father is. His mother, Patti the Polish is definitely showing with his crest and comb/wattles, but I don't know who his father is. The two...
My Polish hen, Tax Evasion, came to me when someone dumped her and her friend in my backyard, I assume because we were the closest people with chickens. They weren't in good shape and had scaly leg and I still put vaseline on because they both seem to have dry skin issues. Anyway, I have no idea...
Hi, I show through my high schools FFA chapter. I have been showing for 2 years and have owned 12 birds over those 2 years. I have a silver laced polish cock that would like some company. I want one or two friendly (not timid) pullets preferably silver laced, but I understand if that is too...
My 1 year old silver laced polish rooster got wry neck in early december, not long after his brother died on Pneumonia. He tuckes his head under his body and only on his right side. He is eating and drinking on his own, and will ge up to walk from one end of his temperary housing to the other to...
G'day everyone from (not so) sunny Queensland, Australia. Big thank you for letting me join your online community. My wife and I have a 1 acre block and currently have 3 laying hens (ex-cage Hyline commercial layers) and recently acquired 6 pullets. 2 Welsummer, 2 Polish, Blue laced Barnevelder...
hello, i have a 7 month old polish rooster who’s been having green poop. he’s acting normal otherwise and even tho the poop is green it’s a normal consistency, just green. he doesn’t eat very many greens as i can’t free range him(too many hawks in the area, and he can barely see with his hair)...
We got baby chicks over the summer and this was one we got from the tub labeled Blue tint Wyandotte but the head feathers make me wonder if it’s a polish or polish mix? I’m still new to chickens so don’t have a good handle on all the breed characteristics yet! Thanks!
Hello,
I have 3 (just starting to crow) Polish roosters in need of home in NY. I took them in as rescues when the owner passed away leaving a bunch of chickens. When I picked them up they had smooth poofs suggesting hens so perfect to add to my few hens. Over the weeks of their poofs have...
Hello again everyone. This has been a rough week. Thank you for everyone’s advice about helping my sick chicken & questions on deworming my flock. This community has been a god send. As I was deworming everyone I discovered another one of my Polish chickens has a big golf ball-sized lump on the...
Hi all. I have five - 6 month old hens. One is a golden laced polish. As expected, she is the most skittish. I’m worried that she is not getting enough to eat. She is hesitant and just stops trying if another chicken is around her. She is not being bullied. Her crop is almost always nearly...
We have 3 polish hens (12 weeks) and we bought 6 Easter Eggers (now 4 weeks). Does anyone see any problems in introducing them together when the Easter Eggers when they are ready to go outside?
I have a what’s supposed to be 4 month old Maran that’s huge. I got her and 2 polish chickens that are supposed to be 2-3 months old. The Maran is too big to be with the polish hens. She may even be bigger than my 3 year olds. Has anyone had a less stressful way of introducing new hens to your...
